Papyrus is a yarn perfect for the Australian climate, it is lightweight and silky soft making it a delight against the skin. With a beautiful soft colour range and an intriguing texture it's perfect for all sorts of projects. Papyrus' silk content also gives it a lovely subtle sheen.
We've admired many beautiful finished projects in Papyrus. It makes a lovely in between season cardigan such as the Earthen Cardigan by Amy Christoffers from Pom Pom Quarterly, Issue 29 Summer 2019 or the Field Sweater by Camilla Vad or the Calico and Ivy Diagonal Baby Blanket.
